…………………………The group of jewelry above I call “BYZANTIUM” It consists of a STATION NECKLACE, J482806, A CROSS, J482802 that can either be worn as a brooch or necklace [in the photos I have the chain doubled to shorten it], a CLIP ON EARRING J482804, and a BRACELET, J482876, that comes in two sizes………………….Years ago I did a group of jewelry called my BYZANTINE GROUP. It was before some of you knew about Linea. It was all reproduced from a group of jewelry I did at Anne Klein……It was a very successful group for so many reasons. The rich jewel colors, the antique gold that gave the pieces the Byzantine look I wanted to achieve, and the fact that these are forever pieces that can be handed down for generations to come. I believe those same reasons exist with this new group…….Each piece is beautifully executed…..All of the stations of the long necklace are double sided, so you never have to worry about which side it is on. There are stations where the cabochon stones are framed in gold. The other beads are fluted oval resin beads. Scattered between this color beads and stations are small gold beads. The bracelet is a reproduction of a bracelet I had made for Anne Klein years ago. It is beautifully made. Each cabochon bead is framed in gold, and each section is hinged so it wraps the wrist comfortably. It will be avail in two sizes……The clip earring is also an earring I did for Anne Klein along with the bracelet and station necklace………..The brooch/necklace is a wonderful piece. It is a long necklace, but the chain can be doubled. To do this remove the chain from the cross, double it and then slip it through the back ring. Then bring it around the neck and fasten with the Lobster claw. It may be easier to fasten it in the front so you can see what your doing and then slide the Lobster claw to the back. There is an artisan look to all of these pieces that gives them the look of pieces made long ago………I am showing them above on the new ivory blouse that comes with the scarf and the new Forest Green blazer………….Each piece is perfect for the Holidays and gift giving………..ALL oieces are available now………………………..enjoy……………….much Love………………………….Louis
I am so excited to add another layer to the original pieces I bought years ago. I have worn the cabochon cross at least 100 times and always a comment. It is that stunning. Thank you for these new pieces.
Louis,
Your Byzantine collection is my all-time favorite Linea jewelry. Absolutely and staggeringly beautiful!
Your new Byzantium collection offers much of Byzantine’s same allure. Bravo for bringing us these new and exciting pieces. So rich-looking.
By the way, the new Victorian earring in the clip-on version has now sold out. I can’t believe that. I know I saw it last evening.
Good Morning Louis!
The new Byzantium group has now been posted. Yes I do remember the original Linea collection and own several of those pieces. I think my favorite from that group is the multi cross collar necklace. I immediately ordered the bracelet. During your FB chat you showed the bracelet and it looked so substantial.
The Victorian has also been posted.
Thanks for all you do!
Dawn
